My main research interest is in the facilitation of communication between people
with dementia and their caregivers. I have worked on the 'CIRCA' project: a
multi-disciplinary collaboration looking at the appropriate use of technology
to promote communication between people with dementia and their caregivers; and
the 'Living in the Moment' project which developed a computer-based entertainment
system for people with dementia to use independently. I am currently working as
a Research Fellow on an ETAC funded project addressing ways of prompting people
with dementia to complete everyday tasks in the home.
My doctoral research explored the practical application of facilitative
techniques in promoting mutually meaningful interactions between individuals
with advanced dementia and their caregivers.
